This has become a bit of a sore topic for some of us. They stopped us from using those "Maryland Specials" about mid-season last year. They stop people with toy weapons all the time. But a small kid with the same toy or wooden weapon might get in, depending on who is working security. And depending on which gate you go through, or who is distracted, you'll probably see a couple of people walking through with actual steel swords too. It's very inconsistently enforced. And once past the gate, it's extremely rare that security will stop you later.
